What the chief minister said at Sapno Ki Udaan

The full title of the event was “Sapno Ki Udaan – Asambhav Kuchh Bhi Nahi” (nothing is impossible). Sharma said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had shown that tasks once thought impossible can be done, citing the abrogation of Article 370 and the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya. India is one of the youngest countries in the world, he said, and its youth are its greatest asset. In Rajasthan, more than 26 lakh young people are registered on the MY Bharat platform, and over 1,700 institutions are linked to it.

The state follows zero tolerance towards the illegal narcotics trade, he said. The chief minister listened to the experiences of young people and welcomed their suggestions. Several thanked him: para-athlete Vikram Kumar Meena for an out-of-turn appointment, Shivam Vaishnav for iStart support, Manisha Goswami for financial help, Nikita for the Tele-MANAS mental health helpline and Heeralal Mahawar for the Nai Kiran scheme.
